A PHILADELPHIA Judge has deci-
ded that q man whe cannot or does
not, read the newspapers, is not prop
erly qualified for jury service. The
decision is in harmony with sound
sense, and If this ruling were adhered
to by our courts, we should have fewer
verdicts 80 utterly at variance with
not only technical, but plain construc-
ton of law and evidence. 1t is an
anachronism which would relegate
the nineteenth century to the days OF
traditionary lore, to claim that the
newspaper is prejudicial to the ends
of Justice, by reason of its perusal by
the public, sufficiently interested in
the events of the day. to gain through
its columns information which is es
sential not only to the qualification OF
the juror, but citizenship, in the dis
charge of duties, which enlightened
knowledge and Information, through
the press promotes rather than retards
in the interest of justice.

Millions of People without Food

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16.--Advices
by steamer from China give accouats
of the terrible disaster caused by the
overflow of the great Yellow river.
which n longer flows into the sea. but
has turned nearly the whole province
of Honau into iSke from 10 to 80 feet
deep. The river broke its bank on
Sept. %, and IL populous cities were
inundated. One of the richest plains
in China, over 1000 square miles in
extent, is now covered with water.
The loss of life is terrible. 1t is utter.
ly impossible to account for the mil.
lions of people who once occupied
this populous district Thousands of
them fled to higher ground where they
sit naked and starving. Newly gath
cred crops, houses and every thing
have been swept away, and as the cold
weather is at hand the misery and suf.
feripg Increases. People who have
food throw it among the masses on the
river banks, but that supplies but few,
Millions are homeless aud penniless,
their fields under water, and famine is
already beginning its ravages, The
emperor has given 100000 taels for
relief and subscriptions are raised ev-

The VeFdtcts.

Many different views are expressed
pro and con on the verdicts in the
Coughlin and Robinson cases, the pre-
ponderance of opinions being that the
jury did right. No one who listened
carefully to all the evidence in these
cases can come TO any other conclusion
Nor can any one who carefully views
the evidence on both sides, fail to dis
cover that much had been based by
the defense on the assumption of stu
pidity on the part of the jury. 70
suppose that the same men who were
seen in the company of Blinky Nor
gan and Harry McMunn, and after
wards arrested with this same Morgan,
for whom large reward was offered,
were innocent of the transaction on
the morning of February 4th, when
they were 80 positively identified by
Capt. Hoehn and Rev. Carl Weis, and
judged to be the same men by Myers,
Ohliger, Todd, Reed and others, is sim
ply preposterous, and to assume that
any jury would ignore such evidence
Is to assume that they are either cor,
rupt or too stupid to form a correct
conclusion.
The defense of alibi, in many cases
it is true, is the only defense that an
innocent man has, but it is not always
an innocent mans only defense but
on the other hand, it is the only de
Tense a guilty man can make, with
witnesses of no veracity and no char
acter. The attempted alibi in the
Coughlin case illustrates this view
| Scores of witnesses were brought here
frcm Elyria to prove the presence of
the prisoner at that plaee on that fatal
night, and the following days and
weeks. The testimony of many was
positive, but the indestructibie testi
mony of Mcdowell, the colored man,
who said, before he saw the prisoner
in Jail, that the man who stopped at
his house, a little south of town, a few
evenings after the tragedy, had scar
ON the back part of his head, for he
had taken y seat behind him and saw
it while he was eating, and when he
saw the man he identified him, and
the scar was found, as hs had stated,
put the lie on every crook that came
from Elyria. Others also testified that
Coughlin looked like the man who
had been seen by them little south
of Ravenna few days after the TRACE
dy. A jury must be blind to not see
the absurdity of the Elyria stories.
. In the Robinson case the same holds
true. There was too much positive
and circumstantial evidence to bt
destroyed by the testimony of gam
, oilers and penitentiary birds from
Pittsburgh, a den where murderer
I, are acquitted daily by packed jurie
J and snborned witnesses.

AS AN argument in favor of manual
training in our educational institu
tions, the Philadelphia Record says /:
I" The boy who begins to construct
things is compelled at once to begin to
develop the reasoning faculties. AS
he proceeds he is brought into contact
with powerful natural forces. Thus
the training of the eye and the hand
reacts on the brain, aud stimulates the
mind to enter the realm of scientific
discovery in search Of facts to be ap
piled in practical forms at the bench
and the anvil. The world becomes
beautiful and attractive to those whe
are engaged in making IL SO. 1t is Us
practicable 10 teach manual training
as to teach the dead languages. In
deed, the impression Is growing that
manual training ia to become one OF
the essentials in the education of chill
dren and youth"

because of the tariff on it, is charged
